About Us

WE WORK WITH PURPOSE, MEANING, AND TECHNICAL IMPECCABILITY

At oEnergy we develop, operate, and manage generation and storage projects that help strengthen the power system.

We have built a solid track record based on technical expertise, environmental responsibility, and territorial commitment.

This is our purpose, our history, and the team that makes them possible.

OUR PURPOSE

To drive the energy transition through distributed energy resources, integrating technology, sustainability, and long-term vision.

We seek to transform the structural challenges of the power system into opportunities to contribute to the decarbonization of our energy mix.

OUR STORY

oEnergy was founded in 2013 as an entrepreneurial venture by two visionary professionals, convinced that the future of the power system lay in sustainability, decentralization, and efficiency.

With steady growth, the company consolidated as an IPP and a relevant player in the renewables market, with over 200 employees and territorial presence from Taltal to Chillán.

As it enters its second decade, oEnergy opens a new stage, determined to contribute to the energy transition with storage solutions, hybrid generation, and specialized operations.

Our conviction is clear: to advance toward a sustainable energy future for Chile.
